Here’s another one that was sent to me from Thailand by the Thai President Foods folks. This is made in Hungary. Let’s have a look!

Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add package contents to a bowl and add 320ml boiling water. Cover for 3 minutes. Stir and enjoy!

The noodle block.

A dual sachet.

Chilli powder atop the soup base.

A liquid sachet.

A seasoned oil with a garlic scent.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added hard boiled egg (I’m experimenting with my egg cooker – trying to find the sweet spot and this looks like I’m getting close in the hunt for the softer boiled egg). The noodles hydrated well. The broth was neat and here’s why: usually a chicken instant noodle is just a single sachet endeavor. This one also has the niceties of a little oil and some chilli powder to brighten the usual dim horizon that is chicken. Not bad! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 4316734068398.

Today I’ll be reviewing another one I got after visiting Thailand – I went to a special event held by the company that makes MAMA instant noodles. They make different brands and this one’s made in Hungary for the European market. Let’s check it out! Oh, by the way – this one will be for my son Andy – he’s a fan of anything chicken instant noodle. He’s got a blog himself – Andy’s LEGO Stuff – go check it out!

Here’s a neat one. During my trip to Thai President Foods’ Agent Meeting in Bangkok last month, I went to a seminar for a large group of European distributors. There were a couple guys who were there that I met from the Thai President Foods Hungary factory, and I was able to obtain samples of many of the products that are manufactured there, this being one of them. I noticed that on the label, an Austrian company is distributing this one. Let’s have a look!
